The Tampa Bay Buccaneers shocked everyone as most experts expected the Saints to blast the Bucs.  But, the Bucs turned the tables last Sunday!  Jeff Garcia was outstanding despite only throwing 16 passes as he completed 10 of them for 243 yards with 2 TD passes and 0 interceptions!  RB Cadillac Williams was getting tough yards on the ground as he carried the ball 24 times for 61 yards (2.5 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  WR Joey Galloway was also outstanding as he caught 4 passes for 135 yards (33.8 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  Ike Hilliard (2 rec, 51 yards) and TE Alex Smith (2 rec, 45 yards) also pitched in on Sunday.  The Bucs finished up with 87 yards rushing on 32 carries (2.7 ypc) and they completed 10 of 16 passes for 243 yards.

Linebackers Barrett Ruud (11 tackles, fumble recovery) and Derrick Brooks (9 tackles) were both flying all over the football field against the Saints.  The Bucs held the Saints to 99 yards rushing on 26 carries (3.8 ypc).  But, the Saints did complete 26 of 44 passes for 244 yards.
